Product Description

Product Description

Uncut version -- available for the first time in UK!

Five unsuspecting hotel guests step into an elevator, which leads them into an underground vault. Trapped with no way out, each guest shares a gruesome tale of an encounter with death. But as the stories unfold, the men begin to suspect that their presence in the vault is no coincidence, and that the only way out…is death.

Format: DVD
Five men trapped in the basement vault of an office building share visions with each other of their demise.

Stories revolve around vampires, bodily dismemberment, east Indian mysticism, an insurance scam, and an artist who kills by painting his victims' deaths....

These sort of movies were ten-a-penny in the seventies, and in the US, this was released as a sequel to 'Tales from the Crypt'.

As usual with these films that are stories that are really striking, and others that pale in comparison. The first and last stories are the strongest here, funny for all the wrong reasons (the vampire teeth, and Bakers beard), but still eerie enough to give you a chill.

But this is where the problem lies, the three stories in the middle, while still good, pale in comparison, and you find yourself waiting for the next chapter.

Thankfully, it has enough camp elements, even in the more slower stories to keep the viewer entertained. The segments between the stories are entertaining with the main characters giving each other a bit of 'hell',

and the final speech, with Jurgens breaking the fourth wall, makes the film that little bit better.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON THE VIPCO DVD RELEASE OF THIS FILM.

In the 1960s and 1970s Amicus were one of the main rivals of Hammer Studios, specialising in making horror films in the `Dead Of Night' portmanteau format.

One of my favourite Amicus movies has always been this one, mainly because of its superb all-star cast. Like `Tales From The Crypt', made a year earlier, this film takes its inspiration from the old EC comics of the 1950s as well as from other Amicus productions such as `Dr Terrors House Of Horrors' and `The House That Dripped Blood'.

The set up is fairly simple: Five men congregate in an elevator but instead of stopping at each one's desired floor the elevator takes them down to a basement room where each man then tells the others their recurring nightmare...

The first story is called Midnight Mess and stars real-life brother and sister Daniel and Anna Massey. A man called Rogers tracks down his sister to a strange town and tells her that their father has died and that she will inherit everything. Unfortunately he then pulls out a switchblade knife and stabs her several times, thus ensuring that all the money will go to him instead. To celebrate his impending wealth, the evil heir-sole then goes to a local restaurant but it is no ordinary restaurant...

The second story (The Neat Job) stars the late great Terry-Thomas as a man obsessed with neatness and tidiness. When he marries a clumsy and accident-prone lady it is inevitable that it is going to end in tragedy.

The third story (This Trick'll Kill You) stars future Bond villain Curt Jurgens as an unscrupulous magician who will go to any lengths to obtain new illusions for his latest act.

Vault of Horror is a great film but sadly this Blu-ray release is very poor, don't get me wrong the Blu-ray transfer is very nice it gets a 4/5 from me. My problem with this release is the back cover because for some reason the information about the film has been distorted, so the only way to find out is to play the film.

Now am no expert about the films ratio but it looks like full screen to me with slight black bars top and bottom.

The sound is in 2ch PCM which does sound good.

There are no bonus features or subtitles.

A very average release from Final Cut.

Fairly good Blu-ray by Final Cut but I'd say only buy it if you don't have a Region A Blu-ray player & thus can't play the perfect U.S release which includes Tales From The Crypt too. In that edition we have three prints of "Vault.."; the original 4 x 3 uncut edition (in the correct ratio, as shot), the uncut 16:9 cropped print & the edited U.S theatrical cut in 16:9. I mainly watch the 4:3 print as that was how it was made.

Format: DVD
As the other reviewers of this film have said the print quality is awful and is full screen. Fox have just released a double disk containing this film and Tales From The Crypt. Both films are presented in 1.85 widescreen. However, before you throw your Vipco dvd away be warned the American dvd of Vault Of Horror is cut unlike the Vipco release. The scene is at the end of the first story Midnight Mess where the vampires drain Daniel Massey's neck like a beer tap. This scene just freeze frames in the American release but is intact in the Vipco dvd. How annoying is that! I should mention their print of Tales From The Crypt is totally uncut. So you are left with the choice or either having a lovely widescreen print which is cut or a rather naff fullscreen print which is uncut. Talk about a no win situation.

Vault of Horror was the penultimate anthology movie made by Hammer rivals Amicus films. In this one sadly there is no Peter Cushing, but it still has an array of great actors like Tom Baker,Denholm Elliott,Curt Jurgens etc.

There are 5 stories, usually there are 4, but being that this is the shortest out of all the Amicus anthologies (1hr 22mins)the stories whip by at lightning pace. The reason i've given this only 3 stars, is that there are at least 3 other Amicus anthology movies better than this one. It's let down by 2 very mediocre stories which really disappointed me on first viewing. The best segments are the story with Curt Jurgens as a magician searching for a new magic trick in India, and the final story which stars Tom Baker as an artist who enacts revenge using voodoo on the people that have wronged him. This is one of the best stories of any of the Amicus anthologies and is worth the purchase price alone. The wraparound story isn't the best either and thematically is very simialr to the ones used in "Tales from the crypt" and "Dr Terrors house of horrors".

Ignore the grumblings about the poor picture on the Vipco release. It looks fine. Yes the picture is occasionally soft-ish, and it's in 4.3 pan and scan, but if people think this is horrendous quality then frankly they need a new pair of glasses. After reading some of the reviews i was expecting to be watching a LP VHS taped from the telly transfer but i thought it looked quite reasonable. Certainly not top notch or anything but more than watchable.

I believe there is a better transfer, and in widescreen, on a U.S Midnight movies double bill set with Tales From the Crypt, but that print is CUT, the Vipco release is UNCUT but pan and scan.
